That's the beauty- pics

Wednesday November 13th,

Another exciting run
Exciting, because I think
I've found a way to balance 
My love for not being crazy concerned about speed 
With my need to focus on it- 

No, I did not choose a life of schizophrenia,  
Tempting as that may be

Just toying with the idea of 
Planned run/walk training

I need to perhaps read a book on it

But for now, I've just set endomondo
To tell me to run for 5 minutes
Then walk for 1

I can do this
It feels like a game
And I run faster
Trying to get my 5 minutes in
So my walk break brings me to 
A perfect picture spot


I don't feel rushed
Or lazy 
Or anything

Just really content

Maybe I've found something that works for me

And that's the beauty of this thing called running

You're never done
Never arrived

Always something new
Something more
Something different 

Running is ever changing

Always beautiful 
Always gifting me with new happiness

Thankful

Blessed

It's happening

Its happening... you can feel it in the air  You can see it in the way the sun hits the grasses on the side of the road Hear it when you open your door and the kids are outside playing It's running weather... I know you feel it too.  That feeling that you get when you have to lace up and get out It's been a while though A long while...  Hesitation sets in, you second guess You tell yourself it's probably nothing Probably procrastination from some more pressing projects on your plate. But I can't shake it... So I ran.  and walked.  and ran some more... and took a few pics to commemorate the beginning of the season.  Running Season.

3:29am That when I started my run today- Why so early? Had to- my goal was 12, and at a 13-15 minute pace, my run time would be 3 hours. By 6:30 this Cinderella turns into a pumpkin- I mean-mommy and has to get hubby and kiddos out the door. Like last night, I was indifferent, the run was like work you had to do- it felt weird. Headphones- check I pod- check Snacks- check Camelback- Check I was mildly intrigued by this last piece of gear, it was new- and new means fun- right? So off we go- Out the door, the warm-up walk begins- WHAT'S THAT SOUND??!! This sound can only be described as the sound you hear when your tummy's sick, but your mom pumps you chock full of fluids and pepto anyway. Soon all you hear is a gurgle of a sound that says bad things are coming- That is what my camelback had in mind as entertainment and conversation today- Oh no, no, no- that is not going to work, That- glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, with every step would NOT acc...

Monday- Oh Monday- I so want to embrace you as if you were something special After-all, you are my day off And always give this False sense of holiday But more often than not You punish me Drop kids off at school BlueSkyGirl RunningMommaOf2 Are set to do another swim session To get runningMammaOF 2 In ship shape for her triathlon She worries about the swim I offer to sign up for the tri To make her look good Picture me flailing helplessly We laugh They see me geared up Ask what's on the agenda "Easy 4 and hill sprints!" I say They are secretly jealous I just know it We part ways I make a final decision Route will start from home Start is slow I chide myself "Are we walking or running today?" I ask myself Knowing full well It is rhetorical But my legs think otherwise They think for a moment Ummmmm "walking?" they say I am not amused I ask them again "Are we walking or running today?" This time...
